Both she and Fiolina Germi were the first women to be introduced in the heroes team in Metal Slug 2 (formerly composed only by the males Marco and Tarma).Nadia, Leona and, to an extent, Tyra are sprite edits of Eri, as all four share similar animations.Spelling her name backwards (in Hiragana) people will get the name of a famous Japanese pop star Rie Tomosaka.She wears a green bandanna on her head, a green vest with a white T-shirt/tank top underneath, wrist bracelets (sometimes gloves), dark green short shorts held by a belt with a silver buckle, knee pads, socks and a pair of army boots. She can aim her throws, not to mention her grenades cause more damage and she picks more grenade ammo.Įri has blonde hair and brown eyes.

In Metal Slug 6 and Metal Slug 7, Eri is skilled in using grenades. This is shown in her MSA infobox and a conversation with El Dorado. She was promoted to staff sergeant.Įri is also known as the 'Memphis Bomb Princess' due to her extensive use of grenades. In the Second Uprising, she showed exemplary performance in suppression operations and stopped Morden's Army from executing the uprising. Eri, however, found assassination and subterfuge missions to be heavily distasteful, so she applied to be transferred to S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S., of which she was specially granted considering her ability and deeds. Her leadership skills were discovered by the Government Forces Intelligence Agency, who gave her special training as a spy. Roguelite elements make missions highly replayable and victories feel truly earned, but should a cunning squad or fiendish boss persevere, rounds are quick to jump back into.'You live then you die - all alone.' - Eri's pet phrase.Īn orphan who was abandoned in front of a church, her earliest memory is escaping the church and becoming the leader of a street gang. Metal Slug Tactics’ challenging missions build levels from different combinations of hand-crafted terrain tiles, keeping battle layouts unpredictable and ensuring clashes are won through calculated strategy rather than memorization. Players wield classic Metal Slug weaponry, leveraging skill trees, perks, and a super attack-fueling adrenaline system to outwit and demolish flanks of the series’ signature villains. Metal Slug Tactics reunites Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma as they lead the Peregrine Falcon Squad into a new battlefield through dynamic, strategic combat. The trailer, which we’ve embedded above, looks fun as heck - it keeps the pixel-based art and high-energy gameplay, changing up gameplay from its original run-and-gun style and making it a more tactical title. Players can already wishlist the game on Windows PC via Steam. It’s called Metal Slug Tactics, and a release date was not announced. Metal Slug is returning as a grid-based tactical role-playing game with “roguelike elements,” publisher Dotemu announced during Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest.
